I will finish what was started! That is a Declaration of Truth I regularly say over my life, and it has been a vital one in my ministry at Element Church . Life is hard. Ministry, like so many other professions, can be weary at times. Having an anchor truth like this has been so helpful during those…
Yesterday, I posted the emotion I felt the most as we approached our final Sunday at Element Church . Today, I want to share one of my greatest memories. It’s hard to pick just one memory from the last 14 years. Every baptism, specifically baptizing my best friend Todd, is right there at the top. So…
Element Church almost didn’t even get started because of the day in 2007, when I almost gave up. As my final week at Element is underway, my heart and mind are flooded with all sorts of emotions. Joy and praise for all that God has done. Thanks and appreciation for all the people who have loved and…

I believe this two-word prayer is something that needs to be shared all over our world right now. “Lord, help!” Sometimes that’s all you can pray, and the great news is, there are times that it’s all you need to pray. “Lord, help!” “Lord, help!” is a prayer my wife and I have prayed on many occasion…

Over this past year, I have been working through many of the lies that I have believed about myself. The one lie that seems to be repeated ove…
How much do I trust God? That question is something God has really been challenging me on recently. I mean, when you look at the Scripture as a whole, it is one long test of faith and trust after another. Adam and Eve, don’t eat from this one tree. Do you trust me? Noah, build a boat the…
No, that is not a mold of my giant schnoz in the picture, and no, I’m not talking about your actual nose. On Sunday at Element Church , we talked about one of the characteristics of God in His name is “Slow to anger.” But in the original Hebrew, the literal translation is “long of nostrils.” The wor…

This Sunday we start a new series at Element Church called “God Has A Name.” What does your name mean? In some cultures, your name means everything.
